I was of the opinion that wards and other astral barriers made it

I wouldn't be so sure of that particular example (though the argument I
agree with). The windows of a building are an integrated part of it's aura.
You cannot single out specific bits of an entities aura to cast spells on. A
"Melt Windows" spell is like a "Shrivel Left Pinky" spell. You can't
do it.

of foci equal to one's grade. Not a number of _foci_ equal to one's grade.
